My name is Samuel Hayes and I am a huge motorsports engineering geek.
I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in year 6 of Primary School, which led to the majority of my secondary school education to be taught virtually.
During this time through binge watching ‘Phineas and Ferb’ and ‘Scrapheap Challenge’ I found my love of designing\/building things which eventually mixed with my fascination with race cars to create a passion for motorsports engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for hobbies:
I currently own and have since fully upgraded a 3D printer (Creality Ender 3) and use it to design and build useful things and also addons for my sim-racing setup and fun stuff.
I am a big sim-racing fan and have my own VR setup that I have spent un-godly amounts of hours playing and building extras for my simulator, such as functional gear levers and replica steering wheels of real race cars to allow me to have a more immersive experience.
I have currently:
designed and made an 8+R gear lever out of cardboard for truck sims,
3D printed a 4+R gear lever replicating the jaguar e-type V12 Group 44 from Project Cars 2,
a replica steering wheel of the Porsche 919 LMP1 car
and has designed and not yet built a replica LMP3 wheel (Cosworth CFW).
I also sometimes play flight simulators such as DCS and VTOL VR (would highly recommend the latter if you have a VR headset) and have flown a real glider before down in Ashford.
Another interest I have had for a while is programming, I have several Arduino’s and programmed a Snooker counter with one using a few buttons and an LCD character display. I started learning the Unity engine last year and am currently (and slowly) developing a glider simulator that works in VR but the project was put on the back burner for exams.
Last year I Joined an archery club relatively local and now shoot every weekend I can. I received the White arrow badge a few months ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My recovery has been going very well for the last few years, and I am certain that I can achieve the goals below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am looking forwards to a career in endurance motorsports, designing hybrid systems and potentially joining the team as pit-crew!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
